Je poste également une petite biographie en anglais qui vient directement de Mark Lawrence , producteur du label walkup records :
Bigga Haitian is known as the first Haitian singer to break into the Jamaican reggae
scene, composing and voicing his own lyrics.
Born Charles Dorismond in Port Au Prince, Haiti, Bigga hails from a musical family. His
father, Andre Dorismond, was the lead singer of The Webert Sicot Group, pioneers of
Haitian dance music known as Kompa. Bigga immigrated to New York City at the age of
8 and grew up amidst the pulsating rhythms of reggae music in the vibrant Jamaican
community of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Bigga knew that he was destined to become a reggae
singer after seeing Admiral Bailey perform his hit tune "Big Belly Mon" at Manhattan’s
Reggae Lounge in 1981. At this moment, reggae sensation Bigga Haitian was born.
Bigga has been blazing up the stage for more than 20 years, appearing with reggae
legends Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, Sizzla, Capleton, Cocoa Tea, Junior Reid, and
Buju Banton, among others. Bigga broke into the hip-hop scene in the 1990s, opening
for the Ruff Ryders, Lil’ Kim, and Jay-Z at New York City's Randall's Island. Today's
most talented Haitian singers, such as Wyclef Jean, credit Bigga as an influence.
Many of New York's legendary venues have hosted Bigga's performances including
SOB’s, The Apollo Theater, B.B. King's, The Lion's Den, and Galapagos Art Space. He
has also performed at festivals in Jamaica and the Caribbean, including a show hosted
by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.
Bigga's first album, I Am Back, features a remix of his dancehall anthem, "Haiti A Where
Me From" which was a #1 single on the Haitian charts, and is still a staple of Haitian
radio to this day. He followed this success with his second release, Binghi Mon, which
includes "Tribute to Patrick Dorismond," featuring Barrington Levy's "Murderer" anthem.
“Tribute” was produced by Jah Life, who also produced the original Barrington Levy
recording. Bigga recorded two singles, "Red Carpet" and "Sexy Body" at Freddie
McGregor's studios in Jamaica which were originally released on McGregor's Big Ship
Records and later featured on Doctor Dread's RAS Records' compilation Best of the
Best, Vol. 5 (Freddie McGregor Presents: Best of Big Ship #1). Bigga has also recorded
tracks with artists such as Yvad, Ken Boothe, and Denroy Morgan of Morgan Heritage.
Bigga Haitian continues to write, record, and perform future classics. He recently signed
to Walkup Records and is currently in the studio working on his third album.
